Fifteen years after the end of the Clone Wars, Wolffe was still alive and was living in a modified AT-TE on Seelos with CaptainRex and Clone commandoGregor. Wolffe initially distrusted the Spectres, which included the Jedi Purge survivor Kanan Jarrus among their number. Believing that the rebels were a threat, Wolffe sent a transmission that was picked up by the ImperialAgentKallus. However, Wolffe came to see reason when Rex spoke up for the rebels and told him they were not a threat. Under Rex's command, Wolffe and Gregor held back Kallus's AT-AT walkers so that the rebels could escape. Following the battle, he and Gregor stayed behind on Seelos while Rex joined the rebellion.

"Thanks for getting us out of there in one piece, General Skywalker.""You have my Padawan to thank for that. She always said you guys would pull through.""General Plo said someone would come for us. We're glad he was right."

Grievous fired its secret superweapon: a massive ion cannon. The ion blast engulfed all three Star Destroyers and shut down all the systems and equipment; leaving them dead in space. The now defenseless fleet fell under turbolaser fire from the Malevolence. Koon, realizing the fleet was lost, ordered the evacuation of the Triumphant's crew to its escape pods. Wolffe, Koon, SergeantSinker and trooper Boost boarded a pod, Pod 1977, and ejected into space just as the Triumphant exploded;[2]turning the fleet into a graveyard and killing all of the Wolfpack—save Wolffe, Sinker and Boost.[3]

The group, alone drifting in the debris field, was unsure that anyone would come rescue them, except Koon, who was sure of it. Soon thereafter, Wolffe learned the pod's power grid was down, leaving them with little air and no way to contact help. Koon reasoned that if they got the power restored they would survive long enough to be found, assuring them that if they worked together they would survive, therefore, the inevitable rescue party would save them. Just then, another pod appeared through their pod's viewport, but the clones within had fallen victim to rocket battle droids manning a boarding ship—their pod had been "cracked open", the clones floating dead in the vacuum. Disturbed by the sight, Boost and Sinker quickly restored the power, so Wolffe manned the comm system to search for rescue craft. However, another pod nearby broadcast a distress signal because the battle droids were attacking them. Wolffe made visual contact with the pod just as the droids cut into the pod and killed the troopers; leaving Koon, Wollfe, Sinker and Boost as the sole survivors of the battle.[2]

Wolffe, Plo Koon and his squad trapped inside one of the escape shuttles

The droids spotted the group’s pod and headed towards it, forcing Koon to quickly decide to meet the enemy face-to-face—his breathmask and Boost and Sinker’s Phase I clone trooper armor would protect them from the vacuum. Woffe, however, who was armor-less, remained inside the pod to ensure the distress signal remained broadcasting, as it was their only chance of survival. The Jedi and the two troopers fought the droids, who had latched on to the pod with the boarding craft's pincers and activated the "squeeze" feature on the boarding craft that began to damage the pod. Wolffe picked up a signal from Tano and Skywalker, who had come to search for survivors—against a direct order. Wolffe informed Koon, who ordered him not to lose the signal as the droid’s craft damaged the pod enough that it began to lose pressure, therefore, Koon destroyed the craft using his lightsaber and the Force, defeating the droids. Koon, Boost and Sinker remained outside of the doomed pod to allow Wolffe more oxygen as he used his connection to the Force to relay their position to Tano. She and Skywalker quickly located them, and Skywalker used a tow cable to pull the pod into the hold of his freighter, the Twilight.[2]

Wolffe recovering aboard the Twilight

Skywalker popped the viewport from the pod using the Force, allowing Wolffe, who was coughing and weak from a lack of oxygen, to sit and rest while a 2-1Bmedical droid tended to the weakened clones. Grievous, at the helm of the Malevolence, after learning the rocket droids had been killed, returned to the debris field to locate the survivors. Koon, Skywalker and Tano, in the Twilight's bridge, shut down all the ship's systems and Skywalker's astromech droid, R2-D2. However, the 2-1B, TB-2, was not shut down and the Malevolence picked up the signal from the droid and fired an ion blast at the Twilight as a result. Skywalker, however, a prestigious pilot, used his skills to escape the debris field, evade the ion blast and enter hyperspace. The Twilight rendezvoused with Skywalker's fleet, and aboard the Resolute, where Wolffe thanked Tano and Skywalker for rescuing them, glad that Koon's faith had come to pass.[2]

Some time later, the Wolfpack's ranks were replenished with new troopers and Wolffe and his battalion participated in a battle on the planet Khorm. During the fighting, Wolffe was permanently scarred when Count Dooku's Sith apprenticeAsajj Ventress cut his right eye, leaving a long scar across the right side of his face.[3] He later had a silver cybernetic replacement installed.[4] Despite his injury, Wolffe continued to serve and lead his troops.[3]

Wolffe then assisted Plo Koon and Ahsoka in rescuing Windu and Skywalker from the wreckage of the Endurance on Vanqor.[6] He also went with Koon to rescue Skywalker's, Kenobi's, and Ahsoka's team from the Citadel on Lola Sayu.[7]

Skywalker, Koon, Wolffe, and Tano plan their attack on the Separatist outpost

Some time later Wolffe and his squad received some armor upgrades and took part in a attack on a Separatist outpost on Felucia, commanded by General Grievous. However, while everyone were distracted by the ongoing battle, Commander Tano was captured by a Trandoshan hunter and was brought to the TrandoshanmoonWasskah, where the Trandoshans used to hunt sentient beings for sport. After the battle on Felucia was over, the group noticed Commander Tano was missing and Anakin launch a huge mission to find her, with no results. However, a Wookiee relief force aided by bounty hunters rescued Tano and her fellow Jedi friends and brought them back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.[8]

"Here's how it is. My orders are to deliver supplies and re-establish power and communication systems. Report back to the transport the moment that R2 unit has completed the download. Tell them we'll be out of their hair in no time."

En route to resupply Koon's forces, Wolffe was ordered by Senator Padmé Amidala and Master Yoda to drop off relief supplies to Aleen to help the Aleena. Wolffe also had Amidala's protocol droid, C-3PO and Skywalker's astromech, R2-D2, much to his annoyance. Once on Aleen, Wolffe spoke with King Manchucho and set up stations for their supplies. After the mission, Wolffe and his men then dropped the droids off with Master Adi Gallia.[9] Wolffe then boarded General Grievous' ship with Plo Koon and his men to rescue Galia. Wolffe then found C-3PO and R2-D2 and took them back to their ship.[10]

"We're taking you in now, Commander.""That's not going to happen, trust me. Now, I'm not going to hurt any of you… We're not going to hurt any of you, but you're not taking me in.""Commander, we are taking you in."

Wolffe and his Coruscant Guard troopers corner Tano and Ventress.

Wolffe then took a squad of shock troopers to Coruscant's underworld to find Ahsoka Tano and ascertain if she was really behind the bombing at the Jedi Temple. During his search, he found Tano with Dooku's former assassin turned bounty hunter Asajj Ventress. He tried to take them both, but was subdued by Ventress.[13]

Wolffe later found Tano at Level 1315's warehouse and stunned her. Nearby, he found a crate full of Nano-droids, the same devices used in the bombing of the Jedi Temple, leading him to assume that Tano was the one responsible.[13] Tano was expelled from the Jedi Order and turned over to the Republic for trial, but was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing after Anakin Skywalker identified Padawan Barriss Offee as the true culprit.[14]

"The hull shows substantial scoring and wear. Whenever it crashed, it wasn't recently. General Plo, the scans check out. It's a T-6 shuttle, all right, serial number 775519.""I want the entire area cleared. We're taking everything back to Coruscant.""Everything?""Everything!"

Wolffe survived the Clone Wars and at some point removed his control chip. In the years after the Empire's birth, Wolffe was living with Captains Rex and Gregor in a modified AT-TE on Seelos, having managed to remove their control chips that forced them to follow Order 66.[17]

Several years before the Battle of Yavin, they were contacted by the crew of the Ghost, who were sent by Ahsoka Tano to acquire locations of Outer Rim bases for the rebellion. When Kanan Jarrus identified the clones and drew his lightsaber, Wolffe identified him as a Jedi and assumed he had come for revenge, prompting him to open fire on the Jedi. Rex managed to break up the fight before Ezra Bridger revealed that Ahsoka Tano sent them. Wolffe later privately discussed whether or not to aid the rebels with his brothers, fearing retribution from the Empire if they did so. Unbeknownst to his brothers, Wolffe secretly tipped off the Empire to the presence of a Jedi on Seelos.[17]

Subsequently, Wolffe drove the AT-TE as the clones and Ghost crew went hunting for joopas, using Garazeb Orrelios as bait. After successfully luring and killing the joopa, Jarrus desired to get their intel and leave, though Rex convinced him to stay for dinner. As Sabine Wren was granted access to the clones' database, she discovered that one of them has alerted the Empire. Rex realized Wolffe tipped them off, who regretfully admitted to alerting the Empire to protect his comrades from persecution for helping the Jedi, as well as having hidden the messages that Tano had sent Rex. Rex then managed to convince him that the Empire was the enemy. Subsequently, they discovered a probe droid had been spying on them before Rex shot it down. Afterwards, the group prepared for an imminent invasion from the Empire.[17]

While the Spectres urged the clones to come with them and join the Rebellion, Wolffe and his fellow Clones insisted on staying behind to delay the Imperials so that the Ghost crew could escape. During the Imperial assault on Seelos, Wolffe and his companions rode their AT-TE against Agent Kallus' three AT-AT walkers. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, the clones were determined to go down in a blaze of glory. However, Bridger convinced his fellow rebels to help the clones. Flying the Phantom, the rebels succeeded in hijacking one of the AT-AT walkers and using it to immobilize the other Imperial walkers; forcing Agent Kallus and his surviving crew to retreat into the desert.[18] Following the battle, Rex joined the Rebellion whilst Wolffe and Gregor stayed behind on Seelos, taking the remaining AT-AT walker for their new home.[19]

Wolffe developed a sense of respect for the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano after they saved his life during the Battle of Abregado.[2] As a Clone commander, Wolffe was bred for combat and naturally favored combat operations over relief missions. Wolffe complied with orders to lead a relief mission to Aleen, but found his escort the protocol droidC-3PO annoying and fastidious. Wolffe also had little appreciation for the eccentric customs of the Aleena species and disregarded KingManchucho's beliefs in the underground Kindalo dwellers as nonsense.[9] Following the bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar, Wolffe and his men took part in a manhunt for Tano through Coruscant's Underworld. Upon discovering the Padawan near a crate of nano-droids, he assumed that she was guilty and stunned her with his blaster, despite her pleas for him to let her explain.[13]

Since he removed his control implant, Wolffe and his fellow comrades Rex and Gregor were unaffected by the transmission of Order 66. Following the Clone Wars, Wolffe and his comrades settled on Seelos and lived in a vintage AT-TE walker. He and Gregor looked up to Rex as their natural leader. Wolffe did not want to have any dealings with the wide galaxy and hid messages that Tano had sent to Rex. Wolffe had an unpleasant initial encounter with the former Jedi Purge survivor Kanan Jarrus and believed that the Jedi had come for revenge. Only the timely intervention of Rex prevented the escalation of hostilities.[17]

While Rex and Gregor befriend Jarrus and his rebel comrades, Wolffe remained aloof and suspicious of the newcomers. Believing that the presence of Jarrus and his Jedi apprentice Ezra Bridger endangered him and his fellow Clone veterans, Wolffe secretly contacted the Empire. When Rex pointed out the errors of his way, Wolffe ultimately accepted Rex's chastisement without bitterness.[17] He made up for his transgression by joining forces with Rex and Gregor to hold back AgentKallus's AT-AT walkers so that the Spectres could escape. Wolffe came to respect Bridger and Jarrus after the two returned to save him and his Clone comrades from being destroyed by Kallus.[18]

As a Clone commander, Wolffe knew how to operate a blaster rifle[17] and an AT-TE walker.[18] He also wore a jetpack during the Battle of Felucia.[8] While Wolffe was a seasoned soldier, he was no match for the Force powers of Asajj Ventress, who trounced him and his men.[13]
